+Subject: [PATCH] make: Pass ldflags during link
+
+OpenEmbeeded needs to pass essential linker flags to set correct flags
+for gnu_hash among others which sets the linking straight
+using LDFLAGS varible here means, we can affect the linker flags
+from build environment
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
